Whats my mineral make up shade?

i want to buy elf mineral foundation and dont really know what shade i am plz help. If not elf maybe some other brand thants not too expensive thanx guys.Whats my mineral make up shade?
I'm not sure about elf cosmetics but Everyday Minerals and Alima Cosmetics both have a wide variety of shades in different finishes/coverages and are very affordable so you can basically get a custom match. Everyday Minerals sends out free samples and offer it in matte, semi matte, original glo, intensive and pressed and a lot of girls from makeupalley.com mix the formulas together to get a super natural look. Alima charges a small fee for their satin matte finish samples but they last at least a week or longer and it's definitely worth it if you can find your exact shade. Both have excellent staying power and more natural compared to other mineral foundations I've tried and do not contain bismuth oxychloride which is actually found in Bare Minerals and is toxic.





There's actually a website called makeupalley.com where you can read reviews, write reviews, swap etc. with makeup and skincare experts from around the world that can be incredibly knowledgeable and help give you your exact shade. There are also other boards/forums at makeupalley that you might enjoy such as family, pets, home and garden, fitness and nutrition, fashion, bath and body, fragrance, work and money etc. and it's a really nice community with some really wonderful girls (and some boys too :))





Anyway, sorry for rambling and I hope you find your exact match!Whats my mineral make up shade?
you need to go to the store and TRY IT. it is impossible to buy foundation or concealer products without trying them out on your wrist first to see if it blends properly. i just got maxfactor's new mineral powder foundation and it's fantastic. it doesn't look like you're wearing foundation at all, which is the point. it's about 拢14, which is roughly what you should be spending on foundation otherwise you will almost definately get a dodgy shade which will then clog your pores. it's not dirt cheap but last for ages so i think it's worth it.
